Hi Jonathan, My problem with Emacs speak, which are used to use at work, was that it seemed to be it's own thing and it's own environment. If you were an Emacs user, you could stay in that system all day long. And Emacs speak would work. But if you also had to do DOS, and then windows, and then different windows screen readers, Emacs and Emacs speak are so huge and different from everything else. It was just overwhelming. And at that time, there weren't introductions. There were awful UNIX man pages. Now I think you are a programmer. So that might not be as daunting to you as it was to me and some of my other colleagues. Mary
